Forests are important ecosystems worldwide and in Sweden, where over half of the land is forested. Forestry management strategies significantly impact ecosystem productivity and carbon sequestration. This study focuses on comparing two prevalent forestry management strategies: Rotation Forestry (RF), which uses clearcutting as the prevalent timber extraction method, and Continuous Cover Forestry (

With the rise of serious environmental threats brought about by climate change, governments, organizations, leaders, and academics are constantly seeking ways to address this growing concern, and the development of a circular economy model is seen as a viable solution towards ensuring environmental sustainability alongside economic growth. The concept of circular economy has been defined in a mult

Efter att den svenska riksdagen beslutade att återuppta totalförsvarsplaneringen år 2015 har vi erfarit en världsomspännande pandemi, krig i Sveriges närområde samtidigt som en stundande klimatkris blir alltmer akut. Dessa faktorer har gjort civilförsvarsförmågan och den svenska befolkningens hemberedskap till en aktuell fråga. Hur väl förberedda är vi egentligen ifall samhällets service slutaSince the Swedish parliament decided to resume the total defense planning in 2015, we have experienced a worldwide pandemic, war in the vicinity of Sweden, and an impending climate crisis becoming increasingly urgent. These factors have put civil defense capabilities and the Swedish population´s home preparedness high on the political agenda. How well-prepared are we really if societal service

Har ni någon gång suttit i en bil och sett en lastbil med den orangea skylten? Och ställt er frågan om transporten av detta farliga gods faktiskt görs på ett säkert sätt på de svenska vägarna? Att transportera farligt gods med lastbil på svenska vägar är idag något som anses nödvändigt då det handlar om att transportera ämnen som bland annat bensin, gasol och svavelsyra som behövs för både privatIn Sweden one of the most important aspects of risk consideration in land-use planning is managing risks associated with the road transport of dangerous goods. Investigating how consultants perform their risk assessments and comparing them with actual accident statistics allows for a quantitative evaluation of the quality of these assessments. The thesis compares consultants’ risk assessments with

This study examines how Swedish media reported on gun violence in criminal gangs from a brief view of the 1990s, the early 2000s, to 2023. Its goal is to see how these stories have changed over time and how they affect people's thoughts and actions. There is little research on this topic; therefore, this study fills an important gap. It examines news articles from major Swedish newspapers and

Stock markets around the world bear one thing in common, the presence of stock companies of different sizes, whereby two common representatives of size are small- and large-cap stocks. As of late, newspapers and financial institutes have reported a on a divergence in performance between these assets, associated with the increasing interest rates. The aim of this paper was to further explore the re

Fagerstr¨om Industrikonsult AB has created a hydraulic manipulator equipped with a wet blasting gun for decontamination of radioactive particles from components in nuclear power plants. Verifying the structural integrity of the manipulator would enable the addition of a gripper tool, allowing manipulation of components being decontaminated, a feature requested by the industry. The aim of this mast

The study consists of an underlying desire to examine the different factors regarding covert surveillance methods police in Sweden use. Sweden's police force uses of the methods have had different implications and been a part of the criminal policymaking-debate with those for and against the capacity of the law. This study wants to examine this law-changes and capacities from the perspective o

Sedan 2021 har häktade barn mellan 15 och 17 år enligt lag rätt till fyra timmars mellanmänsklig kontakt om dagen. Den här studien belyser både bristen av kvalitativ utvärdering och av tydliga riktlinjer för hur det isoleringsbrytande arbetet ska genomföras på svenska häkten. Genom en intervjustudie med fyra kriminalvårdare från två olika häkten undersöks kriminalvårdares upplevelser av sin yrkesr

Since 2018, a pilot project has been underway to assess the work method Faster Prosecution, which led to its implementation in January 2023. The work method aims to abbreviate the time between the crime and its trial, thereby expediting the legal process. To achieve this objective, the method necessitates collaboration among The Swedish Police Authority, The Swedish Prosecution Authority, The Nati

Föreställ dig att du försöker skala ett äpple, men i stället för att använda dig utav en kniv för att skala äpplet använder du dig utav ett mer effektivare verktyg, för att undvika att skala bort fruktköttet. För att skala äpplet så tunt som möjligt skulle du behöva ta bort skalet ett litet lager i taget, gärna så tunt som möjlig, så tunt som till fristående atomlager. Detta liknar vad forskare göAtomic Layer Etching (ALE) is a self-limiting cyclic dry etching process used in nanofabrication that allows for material etching on the atomic scale in a layer-by-layer regime. In practical applications, such as using commercially available reactive ion etching (RIE) tools, the ion energy in the plasma exceeds the sputtering threshold (typically 20 to 40 eV for Si), leading to a Quasi-ALE (Q-ALE)

In the search for neutron antineutron oscillations (n → ̄n) in the proposed 200m long NNBAR beamline, it is imperative that the pions originating from the antineutron annihilation events can be detected outside of the vacuum chamber. The purpose of the design of the vacuum chamber then becomes to minimise the effect of the chamber while also adhering to the requirements of the pressure vessels. To

Under de senaste decennierna har det noterats en ökning i användningen av betong och armering i svenskt brobyggande. Utvecklingen har starka kopplingar till den förändring av byggnormer som skett, framförallt införandet av Eurokoden år 2011. Vår studie undersöker trender i materialanvändning i plattrambroar över 50 år och sambandet mellan materialanvändning och plattrambroars skadetillstånd.Over the past few decades, a notable increase in the utilization of steel reinforcement and concrete has been observed in bridge construction in Sweden. This trend is partly explained by changes in regulations, such as the adoption of Eurocode standards. To understand the reason behind this significantly increased usage in materials, a quantitative analysis of the steel and concrete used in concre

This study aims to examine the attitudes regarding cannabis among Swedish and international students at Lund University. The study has used semi structured interviews to collect data, in order to answer the questions. The collected data have been analyzed using Ellickson’s social control theory as well as the theory about legal consciousness developed by Ewick and Silbey. The results show that S
